The Directory Board of ICOM-CC invites organisations to submit proposals to host its 19th Triennial Conference in 2020. The following document assists potential hosts in preparing their bid by outlining the position of ICOM-CC and the essential commitments involved in hosting the conference. The Triennial Conference is the culmination of ICOM-CC’s three-year cycle of activities, providing a venue for conservators, scientists, historians and art historians, curators, librarians, archivists, students, collection managers and directors from the world’s leading cultural institutions and the private sector to meet and exchange information on the latest research and practice in the field of conservation. Depending on its location, the conference may attract up to 1000 delegates who participate in plenary sessions, general assemblies, and specialised Working Group sessions; technical visits and excursions; and social events. In addition, delegates expect to take advantage of the conference to visit local museums and sites of interest in and around the host city.
